Up first is Peter Douglas from VinoVoss to talk about Celebrity Wines…are they worth the hype?

Wines and celebrities are an iconic match. Both evoke a sense of lifestyle, luxury, and aspiration. So, it’s no surprise that some celebrities have ventured into the wine business, adding another income stream and supporting their brand image. Celebrity wines, like their owners, come in various styles. Some hip-hop artists favor Champagne, while others opt for rosé or non-alcoholic options.

Even if a celebrity isn’t a wine connoisseur themselves, aligning with a quality product enhances their personal brand. It sends a message that they have discerning taste, appreciate the finer things, and are willing to put their name behind something they believe in (or at least want you to think they believe in!).

Regardless of their involvement, the perception of quality is crucial. No celebrity wants to be associated with a wine considered cheap or poorly made. It could damage their reputation and make the whole venture backfire.

Well talk about Several of the notable celebrity wine associations and the products they are involved with.

Later in the show I’ll be talking to Lori Rodgers aka “Chef Lorious” and her latest endeavor “JamVino.”  This talented lady is a busy Bee! She was most recently on The Good Life to talk about “CaliBama Cooking” bring her roots together in a very comfort food way. She somehow found time to start her own brand of premium wine infused jams.

Fresh off a “Good Morning America” appearance for Jam Vino, her gourmet wine-infused jam, Chef Lori Rogers, also known as Chef Lorious, and her husband Shane Rogers discuss beating out 10,000 others to land Walmart’s golden ticket.

I get to taste all three of these very special jams 🙂  It’s amazing I had any left over!

Lori “Chef Lorious” Rogers specializes in both classic and contemporary comfort food. Born in California and raised by a close-knit family anchored in southern tradition from Alabama, this “Calibama” girl learned very early that food cooked with love has the power to inspire and heal.

Chef Lorious has been cooking for her family and friends in her kitchen (more affectionately known as her “Love Lab”) for almost two decades. She regularly shares her recipes and meal preparation ideas by conducting cooking demonstrations and sharing her culinary expertise through television programming and various social media outlets. You can follow her on YouTube, Facebook, TikTok and Instagram (@ChefLorious).

Good Life Guy’s Wine of the Week:
Miraval Rose’ from Provence
Attractive bright and translucent color, a typical Provencal pale pink. The nose immediately reveals all the elegance of this Miraval Rosé with its superb aromatic bouquet delicately combining fresh fruit, freshly cut currants and roses, seasoned with a zest of lemon. The refinement continues on the palate with an ample, rich and gourmet texture, perfectly balanced by the natural acidity and minerality with saline and limestone notes specific to Miraval which continue in a long finish. A typical Miraval vintage with signature flavors.

Grapes Cinsault Grenache Rolle Syrah
